During the snorkeling tour, the jellyfish in the water kept stinging everyone. To make matters worse, it was raining heavily, which made it difficult to se anyfosh.. Additionally, there was no guide available at the bay. On a positive note, our driver was very friendly and punctual. We also witnessed a beautiful sunrise.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent experience. We’re sorry to hear that the weather and jellyfish made your outing less enjoyable. Unfortunately, these natural factors are beyond our control, but we completely understand how they could impact your day. We’d like to take this opportunity to point out that your feedback seems to focus more on the unpredictable conditions rather than the service we provided. As a company, we aim to deliver excellent service, and we’re glad to hear you appreciated the punctuality and friendliness of our driver, as well as the beautiful sunrise. Regarding the absence of a guide at the bay, our website does mention that this is a shuttle service with gear provided, rather than a guided tour. We aim to set clear expectations, but we’ll review how we communicate this to ensure it’s as clear as possible for future guests. We hope you’ll consider rating us based on the service we provided, as it reflects the effort and care we put into making your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible despite circumstances beyond our control. Best regards

The time shown here also accounts for standing in line for the entrance, transit. You get around 2 hrs of experience. They need to improve the quality of the gear. Was really bad gear and kept coming off. Bay in it self is beautiful. You should be able to have good views in snorkeling.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the beauty of the bay and the snorkeling views—it truly is a special place! We’d like to clarify that the tour usually provides about 3 hours of water time, not 2 as mentioned. This allows ample opportunity to snorkel, explore, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. Regarding the gear, we’re happy to share that we’ve recently replaced all our masks and snorkels with newer models that have been inspected and approved by snorkeling experts to ensure top-notch quality and functionality. These updates have received great feedback from our guests. If you’re a novice or have any questions about using the gear, please don’t hesitate to ask our team—we’re always here to help! We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back soon for an even better adventure.

It's very beautiful and informative about the sea life but it's like "crossing the border," as my driver stated. There's lots of rules and informative videos ahead of time but it took over an hour just to get into the ocean...lots of people very crowded.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience. We’re glad you found the bay beautiful and the information about marine life engaging—it’s truly a special place to learn about and enjoy the ocean’s wonders. We understand that the entry process can feel a bit lengthy, especially during busier times. The rules and informative videos are designed to protect the delicate marine ecosystem and ensure all visitors have a safe and respectful experience. While the wait can be challenging, we hope you found it worthwhile once you were able to explore the underwater beauty. We appreciate your patience and feedback and hope to welcome you back for another visit—perhaps during less crowded hours for a more relaxed experience.
